Join SCAD SERVE and Food Well Alliance at one of Atlanta’s community gardens on Friday, June 25 from 9-11 am. Help care for the gardens and harvest produce grown to help feed local families in the Atlanta area. The specific garden for June 25 will be determined closer to the date to select the site most in need of our assistance. Transportation to the community garden will be provided.

Volunteers will meet at the Breezeway at 1600 Peachtree St. NW at 8:15 am. Please wear clothes that will allow you to get dirty, and also to protect you from the natural environment we will be working in. We will be working in gardens and in community with active bee hives. THIS EVENT MAY INCLUDE OR TAKE PLACE NEAR LIVE BEES, PLEASE CONSIDER THIS FACT IF YOU HAVE ANY BEE ALLERGIES. Prepare for working in the sun as well, a hat will be helpful for sun protection. Shirts with sleeves and pants that allow for bending, sitting, and moving is helpful. Wearing a shirt with SCAD on it is helpful for pictures and to create a unified look. Please plan to wear closed toe shoes for your protection, and of course, masks are required according to the SCAD COVID-19 safety plan. Volunteers should also bring a reusable water bottle to refresh themselves at a distance far away from the group. The bus will return volunteers to the Breezeway by 11:30 am.
